well maybe he was side tracked because of "guests" on board. all CO's know that Harbor from memory. its not like there's no charts available. on board guests caused a disaster on a US sub. USS Greeneville. which surfaced right under a touring boat causing fatalities. maybe the Navy should reconsider taking guests along for sight seeing.

Quote:
Despite the failures of Commander Waddle, Navy administrators did not pursue a court-martial. Waddle received only a reprimand and was allowed to keep his rank and pension.
The Greenville went on to be involved in two other incidents the following year: In August, it ran aground in a Saipan port, and on January 27, 2002, it collided with the USS Ogden near Oman. Commanding officer David Bogdan was removed from duty following the Saipan incident but there were no disciplinary measures taken after the Ogden collision.
